Andersons woven belts. very nice.

Just peeped these on HighsnobietyAnother nice new accessory product.  Not too flashy, not brand-namey, but will still kick your outfit up a notch.  I think they’re English.  They’ve got a nice modern touch on the buckles.  A killer way to spruce up a suit imo.

Andersons Woven Belts:

Another product approved by me.

Pay high shipping costs and buy here.

Streetwear is boring. Check out The Berrics’ Butteryass Week

You heard me right.  Streetwear is boring.

I just peeped this video on Jungle Life and thought it was Hillayreeous.  It’s from The Berrics, Steve Berra and Eric Koston’s skatepark.  I guess they like, produced it, or something.

Penn defeats Sherk at UFC 84

Ok!  Back on the blog scene with an un-streetwear related post.

UFC 84… wow!  BJ Penn has, in my eyes, officially cemented his place in the rankings of best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.  He’s always been mentioned in those talks, but tonight it’s for real. 

 

BJ stuffed a couple of Sherk’s takedown attempts and avoided ever getting seriously clipped with any of the Muscle Shark’s lightning fast punches.  And Sherk punches damned fast.  It’s been speculated that Sherk’s fists actually move so fast, that they time travel and opponents get hit twice from the same punch.

But BJ stayed out of his reach and bobbed and weaved and avoided any serious impact.  BJ stayed calm and collected, picked his shots, kept his jab active and before you knew it, Sherk’s face as bloodied up, eyes swollen and a knee to the chin put him down at the end of the 3rd round.  BJ punched like a boxer.  His strikes were accurate and when they landed, they counted.

It was really a great fight and it’s exciting to have such a great, well-rounded guy like Penn as the LW champ.  Sherk seems to be a good guy, but his “take down and stay down” style is really not fun to watch.  Especially for 25 minute long championship fights.

It seems now that BJ will move back up to 170 and take on GSP again.  If he wins that fight, the best p4p title will be between him and Anderson Silva, imo.  But right now, GSP still stands a very solid chance at defeating Penn.  At LW, I really don’t see anyone defeating Penn.  I love Florian and Huerta and a lot of these guys, but based on the way Penn is fighting these days, these guys don’t stand much of a chance.

There were other good fights tonight, like Machida’s win over Ortiz and Wandy beating Jardine, but the Penn fight was the important one.

PEACE!

BAPE x Birkenstock. This whole collabo thing has officially gone too far

Birkenstock must be STOKED!  I haven’t seen anyone rockin the Birks since highschool.  Deadheads are all but extinct and with them went Birkenstock’s sales.  I really don’t know who buys BAPE stuff, either.  I guess it’s the Japanese, I mean someone is keeping them financially solvent.  But together they’re a fashion force to be reckoned with. 

Courtesy of freshnessmag, here is the latest collabo to grace our streetwear loving hearts:

4 different shades of camo will surely let you turn these hippie wardrobe staples into the item that ties together any streetwear outfit. 

It’s amazing, really.  What’s next?  I’m just waiting for that Alife x Speedo.

I guess I’ll file this one under sneakers?

LEADERS x New Era x Hot Lava x Canon Cameras x 90s tennis star

It sounds like I’m dissing, but I dig this hat:

I think that’s because I actually PLAYED tennis in 1990, or whatever it was, when the Andre Agassi Nike Air Tech Challenge IIs came out.  I owned those shoes like the OG tennis player I am.  I had the little white shorts and everything.  WHAT?!?!?

Now I think what I’m seeing here is a nice little reference to Agassi’s sponsorship deal with Canon, the camera company, back in the day.  Their popular SLR camera was and is known as the “Rebel” and Andre was the face of their ad campaign for a while.  The “Rebel” on the hat here is the same typeface as the one Canon uses.

Pritty, pritty, pritty good.

Check the awesome commercial from ‘91:

It’s funny to see all the hype around an actual TENNIS shoe.  I mean at least some people in the streetwear scene actually play basketball, so at least there’s some connection with Jordans.  And I think I’ve even seen some sneakerheads on a skateboard… but none of them play tennis.  Biters.

Starks Laces - customize our kicks without a sharpie

I just learned about Starks Laces and they’ve got a good idea going.

With the homogenization and mass-availability of streetwear and kicks, it’s hard to look original anymore.  Well here is one more accessory you can add to your ‘drobe to kick it up a notch.  Starks Laces, available in a slew of styles.  Here’s a few: 

quake blue for HUF:

  

tiger stripe camo:

classic tennis:

They’ve got a few collaboration laces with HUF and a bunch of other designs.  Before this, custom laces were pretty much limited to pink skulls, Care Bears and checkers from Hot Topic.  Starks is definitely a welcome addition.   

Of course, like any flossy new accessory, kids are gonna go crazy with the Starks.  Matching them, or mismatching them with their fitted caps and purple and green tee shirts.  Done in moderation though, I think these laces could be hot.  Especially when someone else is rockin your same shoes.

My favorite is the pair with the Tribe Called Quest “Low End Theory”, red and green stripes.  You can see those here.

More fake Jordans! yay!

Boy oh boy.  If I wanted shoes that looked like Jordans, I’d buy Jordans.

Check these Jordan XII and Jordan XIII bites from some company I don’t remember the name of.

Sad, really.  The XIIs on the right look like they were painted with nail polish.

Supreme x Kermit the Frog = madness in NY

I’m sure everyone and their mom has heard the news about the Supreme x Kermit mash up.  I think it’s a cute idea, I mean we all love Kermit.  He is, after all, the dopest frog in all of recorded history. 

But you would have to pay me a grip of money to wake up early and get in this line for hours to get me a Kermit tee.

It’s the streetwear sheep flocking to the frog.  Forgive my pessimism, I’m starting to sound like Satchel.
